At this time, it was almost a watch day, and only the continuous cicadas could be heard outside the courtyard, which was obviously noisy, but it made this summer night seem even more lonely.

Aunt Fan held the embroidery shed in her left hand and the needle and thread in her right hand, her eyes staring at the pink first lotus under the needle, but her thoughts returned to a few months ago.

It was the day before Xuan Shao was about to leave Beijing, and after he returned home, he didn't go back to his courtyard first, but came here to find her.

"Auntie, I'm going to go out of Beijing tomorrow to find Xuanyun, and I'll take care of things at home." Xuan Shao stood in front of him, frowning slightly, he seemed to be a little absent-minded, as if he was worried about how to mention this matter to his wife when he went back later.

Aunt Fan looked at him, this child was grown up by her, she watched him slowly grow from an ignorant baby to such a tall and handsome young man now, and it won't be long before his child will be born.

Aunt Fan looked at Xuan Shao and was a little stunned, because the young man standing in front of her reminded her of the man many years ago, and he stood in front of her with trust on his face back then and said, "Ah Qin, I have to go out tomorrow, and I am afraid that it will take a long time to go this time, and the family will be handed over to you to take care of." Shao'er is still young, Ruoxi is a soft character, she can't control what happens, I don't worry. ”

Xuan Shao's face was somewhat similar to that person, but the person knew that he might not be able to go back at that time, and he almost explained to her what was behind him, but he still had the lazy smile he was accustomed to on his face.

It's obviously a serious moment, but being said by him is like saying that he is going out on an outing tomorrow, so that his family can pay attention to the door.

She didn't hear the heaviness behind this entrustment at the time, and deliberately provoked him as if she was against him: "Lord Shizi." That's your family, and it's not mine, so why should I take care of it for you? After that, he deliberately deceived him and got close to him. Grabbed his neck and exhaled softly in his ear, "Unless." You made me your woman. Otherwise...... It's not that you don't know how much I hate your soft and weak wife, who knows nothing, and who is stupid to death, but who is good and good. ”

Xuanxin glanced at her helplessly, and didn't push her away, but patted her head with his hand, as if he was reproaching an ignorant child: "Aqin, don't make trouble." I'll be serious with you. ”

After a pause, he smiled softly again, bowed his head and said, "My trip seems to be a little dangerous, if it is...... If you can't come back, you still follow Shao'er and Ruoxi. I explained to Shao'er. He'll be nice to you, and you can treat them as family. ”

She was a little stiff at the time, and she looked at him carefully, but found that he was still the same casual to the point of being a little hanging, and she couldn't help but be a little suspicious of his words.

This man is so difficult to understand, at least she has been pestering him for so many years, and she has never really understood him. Every time you think he's telling the truth, he's actually teasing you. And when you think he's telling a lie, he's telling the truth.

"Liar, huh?" She glared at him. I don't even know when he pulled him from his neck.

He looked at him without saying anything, and those charming eyes seemed to contain a thousand words. She was about to promise him with a hot head, but he gently spat out two words to her with such an expression: "Guess—"

She was immediately so angry that she picked up a teacup and threw it on his head, but he jumped and dodged.

"You, you. You, you, you—you're disrespectful to your husband! I'm going to tell my lady to sell you! ”

She immediately sneered: "You go—I won't stop you!" When I'm glad to serve! I'd love to watch Prince Zhuang send you ten or eight more concubines to serve you and your lady! ”

The man grinned and walked away.

She tossed and turned all night, and on the second day, she couldn't help but secretly stop him who went out early in the morning, and threatened viciously: "If you dare to die, I will send your family down to accompany you!" ”

Xuanxin didn't smile as usual this time, but solemnly waved at her and left without saying a word.

Xuanxin left and never came back.

"Auntie?" Xuan Shao's voice sounded on the side, with some doubts.

Aunt Fan came back to her senses and saw Xuan Shao frowning at herself, and hurriedly said, "Oh, I'll listen, you go on." ”

Xuan Shao looked at her face and said, "Where are you uncomfortable?" I'll take your pulse? ”

Aunt Fan shook her head and smiled at him: "I'm fine, it's just ...... Is it dangerous for you to go out this time? ”

Xuan Shao thought about it, and didn't deny it: "The other party dispatched a large number of good hands this time, it is indeed a bit tricky, otherwise Xuan Yun would not be missing, but I will be careful." It's just that I'm still a little worried at home, Sanniang can't work hard when she is pregnant with a child, my grandmother is not in good health, and my mother has to take care of the house. But besides, that Yao Yuerong was waiting for an opportunity to move, and the person behind her was not simple. I thought about it, and I can only ask you to take care of it, auntie. ”

Hearing this, Aunt Fan suddenly couldn't help but ask, "Why did you hand it over to me?" Do you trust me that much? ”

Xuan Shao looked at her in surprise when he heard this: "Auntie, you have been very busy lately?" ”

Aunt Fan smiled bitterly, what is this answer? Could it be that she would agree if she was not busy? Is this a question that should be inherited from his father? But he said helplessly: "No, I'm not busy." ”

Xuan Shao was relieved: "Then I'll go back, if there is something, you can ask people to go to the outer courtyard to find Yinren." I'll tell him. ”

Aunt Fan looked at Xuan Shao's back and suddenly thought of the back when the prince left at the end, she couldn't help but chase a few steps and shouted: "Shao'er-"

Xuan Shao paused and turned around: "Auntie still has something?" ”

Aunt Fan looked at him and smiled at him: "Shao'er, you have to come back alive." My aunt is old and can't worry too much, if you don't come back, there will be no one to protect your wife and children. ”

Xuan Shao also smiled back at her: "Well, when I come back, I will take care of you." ”

Aunt Fan looked at his departing back, and her mood was very complicated.

She herself didn't know how she ended up being the old mother who took care of the family, obviously she wanted them to die back then. Even this child, she didn't have murderous intentions in her heart at the beginning. But at last when she saw the beast pounce on him, she still stood in front of him, and her scheming turned into asking for her own misery.

The man knew that she had bad intentions, but he still said to the young Xuan Shao: "Remember, this is your savior." Don't take revenge in the future! ”

This time Yao Yuerong approached her, and she didn't have to guess to know what she was thinking. So she pretended to be controlled by her, just to try to see if she could solve this trouble once and for all. Even if it can't be solved for a while, she can stabilize the person for the time being, lest she think of other vicious methods.

As for Yao Yuerong's ideas and tricks...... Aunt Fan couldn't help but sneer.

Aunt Fan was sitting on the south kang reminiscing about these past events, the wooden door outside was pushed open, Aunt Fan sat up straight, picked up the small copper scissors, and cut off the wick of the red candle on the small table. As soon as the scissors were put down, the maid who had been sent out before lifted the curtain and came in.

"Auntie."

Aunt Fan glanced at the maid: "Is the matter done?"

The maid's eyes lit up and nodded: "It's done, the person in the courtyard said that he would watch." As for Yao Yuerong and the maid beside her, the slave maid had already put people down. I'm sleeping sweetly right now. ”

Aunt Fan nodded: "Send this maid who was locked up back, anyway, she won't wake up, and I'm not afraid of what moths they can do." ”

The maid didn't dislike the trouble of moving, and immediately came down.

***********

And so the night passed.

On the second day, the people of Chunrong Temple found that their master and her two personal maids were sick, feverish, and unconscious.

The people in the courtyard reported to the wife of the family, Jiang, and Jiang immediately sent someone outside to invite the doctor into the house. After some rectification, it was said that he was infected with a cold, and he couldn't say anything else except that he took good care of it after prescribing a few doses of medicine.

originally thought that this matter would be over like this, but suddenly a mother-in-law beside Yao Yuerong secretly went to sue under the pretext of going to Mrs. Jiang to get medicine.

The woman said that she was not on duty last night, and she should have rested early, but she was awakened by urine. As soon as she woke up, she saw a figure going to her lady's room through the hole in her window, and she felt strange at the time, so she secretly hid behind the window to look, but she heard a short exclamation from the main room, which seemed to be from her young lady, but soon the sound stopped, so it did not attract anyone's attention.

Soon after, the figure came out of it again.
